Koyaanisqatsi
BadMouth:
The movie Koyaanisqatsi came up in a thread in the Project Announcements forum.
It looked intriguing, so I rented it.
I had a pretty strong negative reaction to it and made an inflamatory comment in said thread. :P

Rather than mess up a build thread, I thought it better to discuss the movie here.
Here is my take:
I was extremely disappointed. I thought it was going to be an epic take on the human condition that would evoke some kind of awe or emotion out of me.
It did nothing for me. I can imagine it being epic if I were on drugs, but I was not on drugs.
It felt like stock footage with new-age music overlayed and nothing more. ooooh mountain ranges...then rocks..then water....then bugs...omg that's so clever. ::) It's like describing evolution without words man (in stoner voice).
The movie has spectacular reviews, so obviously I'm in the minority here, but I call them as I see them.
Koyaanisqatsi=Tampon in a Teacup
Anyone else have a strong opinion?

I love that I didn't need tampon in a teacup explained to me. ;D

The Simpsons take on Koyaanisqatsi
I had a similar reaction to the movie but I love that there was a theatrical movie release with a Hopi title.
